DOLE-Caraga urges jobseekers to undergo TESDA
skills trainings
By Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, May 6 (PIA) -- The Department of
Labor and Employment (DOLE)-Caraga Region is urging job seekers to undergo
skills trainings initiated by the Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) to prepare them for any job fairs and job hunting
This developed after the labor department
observed the low percentage of applicants in Caraga who were hired during the
conduct of Job Fest 2012, which the department spearheaded, in time with the
celebration of Labor Day on May 1
DOLE-Caraga Technical Services chief Teresita
Bonghanoy said this probably happened because the applicants were not able to
meet the skills standards set by the participating agencies and establishments
who were hiring manpower during the event.
However, Bonghanoy advised the unsuccessful
applicants to see the TESDA office and undergo skills training to ensure that
they can pass the skill requirements of the different establishments.
The official further said that those who want to
join in the next job fairs and job hunting must be well-equipped with the
knowledge, skills and right attitude that are beneficial to be accepted in
whatever positions or job they want to apply in.
Bonghanoy further said TESDA is offering more
skills trainings that are needed both in the local, national and international
labor markets.
Meanwhile, DOLE-Caraga reported that the two-day
Job Fest held in one of the private schools here was a resounding success. With
the theme: “Pagtutulungan. Pagbabago. Disenteng Trabaho,” the job fair was
participated in by around 1,500 applicants.
Aside from the job fair, a MOA signing between
DOLE and TESDA-Caraga on the PHILJOBNET registration of graduates was also done
to ensure that graduates can find jobs that fit their qualifications.
Also, officials of the Philippine National
Police (PNP) in the region reported that the Labor Day celebration in Caraga
was generally peaceful. (RER/PIA-Caraga)

Caraga police upgrades ‘kidnap-for-ransom’
investigators’ skills
BUTUAN CITY, May 6 (PIA) -- Forty-eight police
investigators from the city and provincial police offices under Police Regional
Office 13 attended the three-day seminar-workshop training aimed to hone their
skills and learn the advanced techniques in the investigations dealing with
kidnap-for-ransom cases, at the conference room of Camp Rafael C. Rodriguez,
Butuan City, a senior regional police official said Thursday.
“This is in line with the Philippine National
Police’s (PNP) plan nationwide to have our police investigators undergo such
training in order to upgrade their skills in doing their investigative works
and to use the modern techniques and gadgets in the performance of their jobs,”
he said PSupt. Martin M. Gamba, PRO 13 chief information officer in an
interview. He clarified that as far as the PNP is concerned, the holding of
such activity here has no implication in any way to the past kidnapping
incidents occurring in the region nor did it convey the idea that kidnapping
incidents are in uptrend here. In fact, he said that similar activities will
also be held in all of the regional police offices nationwide.
Supt. Gamba said a team from Crame arrived here
yesterday morning as the seminar guest lecturers led by PSSupt. Isagani R.
Nerez, Director of the Anti-Kidnapping Group in Camp Crame, PSupt. Rolando S.
Miranda, chief of the PNP Operations and Management Division, PSupt. Joenel M.
Aurelio, chief Legal and Inspectorate Division and PCInsp. Rossel I. Cejas, the
Anti-Kidnapping Group Public Information Officer.
Gamba also said that the teams consisting of
eight police investigators each came from the Police Provincial Offices of
Dinagat Island Province, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Agusand del Norte,
Agusan del Sur, Butuan City Police Office, Regional Public Safety Battalion and
from the Regional Headquarters, who are undergoing the said training which is
expected to end up tomorrow.
After their training, the investigators are
expected to perform their functions in their respective areas of
responsibility. They are also presumed to extend assistance in cases where
kidnapping may occur near their assigned areas. (RER/NCLM/PIA-Caraga)

Tagalog News: Sinasakatuparan na ng Brgy
Consuelo ang entrepreneurial activities
By David M. Suyao
AGUSAN DEL SUR, May 6 (PIA) -- Matapos tanggapin
ng Barangay Consuelo sa Bayan ng Bunawan ang programa ng Department of Trade
and Industry (DTI) na kung tawagin ay Rural Entrepreneurial Activities for
Consumers’ Health and Economic Development Program (REACHED), ngayon ito ay
pinapatupad na.
Ang REACHED ay isang bagong programang
isinusulong ng DTI na naglalayong matulungan ang mga mamimili para sa ligtas na
pagkain, epektibong paraan ng pagbabadyet, at kung paano mapalago ang kanilang
pamumuhay.
Ang programang ito ay nahahati sa dalawa. Una ay
para sa mga opisyal ng barangay na mapag-aralan ang batas na nauugnay sa mga
mamimili, at ang pangalawa ay para mabigyan ng alternatibong paraan ang mga
mamamayan kung paano umunlad ang kinikita.
Noong Abril 13, may 25 opisyal ng barangay at
lider ng Barangay Consuelo sa Bunawan ang nagsama-samang dumalo sa isang
seminar sa loob mismo barangay. Ang mga sumali ay tinuruan kung paano malaman
ang mga nangungunang hakbang ng mga negosyante sa panloloko ng pagtinda at
tinuruan din sila ng iba’t ibang gawain tulad ng paggawa ng taniman sa mismong
likuran ng kanikanilang tahanan.
“Sa ikalawang semester ng taong ito, kami ay
mamamahagi ng mga semilya, at iba pang kagamitan para sa pagtatanim para sa mga
interesadong magtanim, at handang maglaan ng sapat na panahon sa pagtatanim. Ito’y
patunay lamang na aming sinusuportahan ang programang REACHED,” sabi ni
Gregorio Maloloy-on,Kapitan ng baranggay,
Ayon sa DTI Provincial Director Lolita Dorado at
Kapitan Maloloy-on, naniniwala sila na sa pamamagitan ng proyektong ito, pati
na ang ang kaso ng malnutrisyon sa Barangay Consuelo at iba pang barangay ay
tatanggapin ang Programang REACHED sa lalong mgdaling panahon. (RER/DMS/PIA-Agusan
